This is so classist (not your comment but op). To imply that folks who don't own their home shouldn't/couldn't be "proud" to bring their loved ones there. Are you kidding me? Entire generations, communities, families have lived and died in rental housing. Entire swaths of the population. This shows very little respect for them.

Absolutely. My mom grew up in a predominately working class Irish public housing complex that my grandmother lived in for almost her entire adult life. It was small, but 5 kids grew up there, and when they had their own kids, we'd go over every Sunday for dinner. Not once did anyone feel ashamed to have all the extended Irish family over in that small apartment. It always amazes me how people that know so little about the world try to tell the rest of us how we should live or feel.

To a ton of tech people I guess their only understanding of rentals is prefurnished single bedroom "luxury" apartments in tech hubs. And then you get the classic "well I didn't spend meaningful time in my apartment so everybody else must be just like me" problem.
